DevOps for App Platforms

What is DevOps for App Platforms?

System, application, database, security and AI DevOps each grew into an industry of its own. App platforms like Airtable, Notion, Supabase, Retool and Lovable bring them together: they absorb the servers, collapse much of the release process and hide the database behind a UI. The need did not go away; it changed shape. One person now changes the schema and the application in the same click, often with no branch, no review and no record. DevOps for App Platforms is the practice that keeps that work safe, and this survey measures how teams and platforms perform.

Your answers will only be used in aggregate for the DOAP Survey. No individual information will be shared publicly by us.
